Excited to share my work about the evolution of coronavirus and flu. The geometry of the spike affects antibody pressure on residues and hence, their mutability. I created a SARS-CoV-2 evolution tracker to relate mutations to potential antibody escape

Here is the 7-tweet summary from the first version. Make sure you check out the published version because the reviewers @ScienceAdvances were incredibly constructive... and made us do lots of really good experiments. https://t.co/PgWkGHNwn3 #myotonic#chromatin#huntington
Ireland is an 'experiment' in #coronavirus response. N Ireland has followed Whitehall approach. Rep of Ireland has followed @WHO advice. The death rate for #COVID19 deaths in hospital (and for all COVID deaths) is 50% higher in Northern Ireland. https://t.co/mB3SOZUvPz
Spread the word: open PhD and Postdoc position in our new group “Environment and Nuclear Organization” of @daph_cabi. For more details join her webinar!
Our review on the biophysics of chromosome dynamics is out in Curr Opin Gen & Dev: https://t.co/LKDjJO2fLN
We introduce the connection between chromatin internal organization and dynamics, and
outline the potential effects of passive and active interactions on chromatin motion.
If we’re going to slosh trillions of dollars around to revivify the economy, let’s use them to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy & to agricultural conservation. https://t.co/u06x0SmGlQ via @TheBTI
Online seminars on chromatin and transcription organised by #FragileNucleosome are being scheduled until July! https://t.co/wJpvcdNR8A The next four great speakers are listed on the poster below. In the future it will be also complemented with shorter talks by junior scientists
We critically discussed in Curr Opin Cell Biol our current view on chromatin and methodology used to support the view. No single imaging (or genomics) method that can tell us everything. We need to look at chromatin from every angle!!

Live-cell 3D single-molecule tracking reveals how NuRD modulates enhancer dynamics:
We found that NuRD complex increases CTCF/Cohesin binding and the probability of the interaction of intermediate-range (∼1Mb) sequences.
We report 2 new spatial scales:

It was fun and educational to work with my star @UofT PhD grad Dr Roxanne Oshidari and @AndrewSeeber@harvard on this @TrendsCellBio review article.

Please RT: We have a open Research Fellow position to study how replication stress can be exploited as an anti-cancer strategy @GDSC_Sussex. If you are interested and want to do your research in lovely Brighton, check out the ad with ref. 2796 at https://t.co/al5MGp0qsR
Our group is looking for a PhD student who wants to develop chromatin probes for nanoscopy. Application process starts after 1st of December: https://t.co/OD35pPtcOL
We are hiring! Post-doctoral position available at the crossroads between tumor immunology and C. elegans research. SNF Spark funded project, more info: https://t.co/xPsZtdBFhq
How can we computationally recover the spatial context of single-cells in their tissue of origin? This question generated a great collaboration with @nu_karaiskos, @nirfriedman, and @N_Rajewsky, and our work is now officially out!
